After escaping the O.C. with two points, the Calgary Flames (5-4-1, 11 points) are back home for a short home stand. Tonight they welcome the Washington Capitals (6-2-2, 14 points) to town, hoping to show that their awful game against Los Angeles was the exception and not the rule.
The puck drops at 7 p.m. MT on Sportsnet Flames and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
